they really do love me!

my poor, poor children! yet again they have let me take scissors and clippers to their precious little heads. i know, you must be laughing your heads off. they love me so much that they willingly sacrifice their scalps to fulfill their pitiful mother's secret dream of being a hair stylist! i really, really stink at it too;) shocked, huh? but nothing makes you smile more than when you hear one of the children you just tortured by grabbing his face in a manner that no real stylist would just so i could try to get some sort of good angle to buzz away (fred got a kick out of this maneuver!), and this is also the child who cries could be heard for miles b/c his awesome stylist offered no shelter for his bare back from the prickly ape-like hair that continued to fall and scar his body...after soaking in the tub and calming down, he looks at me and as honestly and as sincere as he could be says, "you're the best mom ever in the whole world! you're the best parents ever!" all fred and i could do was smile b/c we feel like the luckiest parents ever.
like i've been reading and watching so much about lately...it is all about the little simplest things in life. everyday continues to grow more crazy and hectic only b/c we enable it to be that way. if i could just try a little more each day to be so grateful for what is right in front of me in the most basic form...God, family and friends....sweet dreams....
